Distribution of Langerhans cells in normal and carcinogen-treated mucosa of buccal pouches of hamsters.
The distribution of Langerhans cells in normal and carcinogen-treated mucosa of buccal pouches of hamsters was studied. Decrease in density and in focal aggregates of Langerhans cells and loss of their complex dendritic networks were found in carcinogen-treated mucosa.
